NL West vs. AL East

[SigBaby]

In the West, the D-Backs are in first at 42-41

In the East, the Bluejays are in last with a record of 41-42

I didnt realize how bad the NL West has been, the Rockies are in second at 41-43. The Jays would be 1 game back if they were in the West. Instead, they are 9 back. How does this happen?

Your stance on this was probably different last year when the Tigers made it to the WS with a worse record than the Angels.

A few weeks ago, the NL West wasn't that bad. Over the last 2+ weeks, all of the teams in the division, but the Dodgers have been slumping.

Why would it be different? I didnt mind the tigers going to ws. That's my point. Reg season record is thrown out in Oct. Its about who gets hot at the right time.

Did you mind the Cardinals winning the WS in 2006? The 83-79 Cards?

[Bashbrothers]

I am okay with the randomness of the playoffs.  But I would prefer the better teams getting in there.  Or at least the teams with the better records. 

 

Why should we play 162 games if the best teams don't get in?

Nope

Idc if the angels finish 80-82 and still end up in October.

Also ask the 1973 Mets, who parlayed the worst ever record (82-79) for a team making the post-season into winning the NLCS and taking the A's to WS game 7.

[Tank]

The local tv sports guys are all over the dodgers and their great run to get back into the race.

These are the same dodgers that are a half game behind the Angels.

And they knocked off the mighty Cincinnati Reds to get there.

[The God of Runs]

Too bad the Halos can't petition to get in the NL West.  They'd be in the thick of the hunt

[Angel Oracle]

Rangers' record excluding games vs. Houston = 45-35. 

A'ths record excluding games vs Houston = 44-37.

 

Halos' record excluding games vs. Houston = 37-38. 

 

Yep, only 4 games worse than the A'ths and only 5.5 games worse than the Rangers.

 

Hey Lastos, feel free to stop being the 1919 Black Sox during the WS against the A'ths and Rangers!

Just STOP it!
